Whitman's Chocolate Cups by Harriete Estel Berman is constructed using post consumer recycled tin cans from vintage Whitman's chocolate candy box.
These cups were made in 2003, but never photographed until 2015. The question arises:
Without Photos, Does My Art Even Exist?

The cups are filled to look like luscious foamy hot chocolate but it is actually polyester resin.
These cups represent a tour-de-force of design and skill working with tin cans. The variation in the blue of the vintage Whitman's tin enhances the design.
Materials: recycled tin cans, polyester, 10k gold and aluminum rivets, brass and stainless steel screws.
Whitman’s cup: 6” height x 4.5” diameter base x 4.75” width at top
Originally constructed in 2003, I never had them photographed until now.
